Josebe is 88 years old and lives in a nursing home in Chile, though her mind keeps returning to the Basque Country she left decades ago across the Atlantic. Each morning she wakes believing it is her first day there, and each day she has to relearn that it isn't. The film follows her through the routines of the home, listening as she insists to the Chileans around her, who call her Spanish, that she is Basque and that no one can take that from her. She questions other residents about their pasts, trying to build some shared thread of memory, but is mostly met with silence, and the camera stays with her in that isolation rather than resolving it. There is no narrator explaining her condition or her history; the footage of her daily life and her own words carry the film, which sits with a woman whose sense of home has outlasted the place itself.
